"External component has thrown an exception" build error

[bogdan]

I just created a new Web site solution. I added a new folder called
'Admin'. Then I created a new web form in the folder. Without making any
changes to the web form, when I try to build the project I get the error.
The web form looks fine. When I remove it from the 'Admin' folder the
project builds fine. This just does not make any sense. In the past I
created projects with folders ('Admin' among them) and they build fine.
Could someone please give me some ideas on how to troubleshoot this error.
What a meaningless error anyway!

Thanks,
Bogdan

When you face problems you can't explain, try cleaning the ASP.NET temporary
directory.

I am using an MVP pattern in my website. The presenter and Interface files
are in the appcode folder. The project was all building fine until I decided
to include namespaces in the presenter and interfaces. I kept getting the
"External component has thrown an exception" build error until I realized
that I had not included the namespace name in the control's code behind page.

Hope this makes sense and is useful.
